Not surprising

Which is why it's used by any serious musician or recording professional

Presidential Sound Quality The SM57 is one of the most versatile microphones on the market

This dynamic product can handle the highest sound pressure levels without distortion, making it the perfect choice for recording high-volume instruments like drums

Many hit recordings feature the SM57 on the snare, as it can handle the noise without distortion

This product is also perfect for use with high-volume amplifiers

The SM57 can even handle close up recording on half-stack amps that are painfully loud for human ears

This microphone will help you to bring the feel of a live performance to your recordings for a better representation of your music

While this microphone is notorious for being used in the studio to record the sounds of percussion, wind, and string instruments, it also provides high quality vocal recording

Whether you are using it for spoken word or vocals, the SM57 will deliver a flawless sound while eliminating background noises

Because of its reliability, sound isolation, and quality sound reproduction, the SM57 has been used at the podium for Presidential speeches for the past 40 years

The SM57 differs from microphones that are manufactured solely for vocal pickup in many ways

Vocal microphones like the SM58 have their frequency dialed in to a certain range that is common in most singers, enhancing that microphone’s pickup of the human voice

The SM57 doesn’t have this specific tuning, so it can handle frequencies on a much wider scale, with a response from 40Hz to 15KHz

Without this tuning, the microphone takes in the sound exactly as it is played, creating a perfect recording every time

This is even preferred by some vocalists who want only the raw input of their voice with no tuning at all
